designs,decorating,life

Hello! my name is Tamar, I am a jewelry and accessory designer behind Nest Pretty Things, we are a husband and wife team and sell online through our website and Etsy shops and wholesale to over 50 shops around the world, my husband Ronen manages the business side and I am the designer and maker.
We have a lovely studio in Burlington Vermont and live near by in Shelburne, a beautiful little village right by Lake Champlain, we now have three sons in college (24,22,20) and the sweetest cat Isabel.
I love to decorate (you will always find me working on some project or other), cook and garden (I wish our VT season wasn't so short) and travel.

Hello I'm Back on this blog and a Giveaway to celebrate!

Two years ago I decide to leave this blog and start a new blog on a different platform, since then lots has happened, we moved to a new studio in Burlington VT, we launched our new shopwebsite, and we said good bye to our third and youngest one who left for college.

I love our shopify website and the business side of it is great but the blogging feature...not so much...finally this week after much frustration and mysterious lose of countless photos on various posts I decided to come back to this ol' blog and repost many of the posts you might have missed from all this moving around these last few months.

so!

I would love to re-connect with all of you! and to celebrate the return of my blog I will be doing a giveaway! all you need to do is comment and say hello, tell me a little about yourself and where you are from and sign up to receive an occasional newsletter with fantastic discount promotion codes for the shop!

Hi!! I am Jenn. I am a stay at home mom living in NC.

Hello :) Such a beautiful necklace!! I would love to win! :) My name is Ashley Perez and I am 24 years old. I live in Mountain Home, Idaho and I just moved here with my husband about a year ago. We moved here from San Antonio, Texas. it was a big adjustment for us because we have lived in Texas our entire lives and our families live there. We moved to Idaho because my husband is in the military and this is our new duty station. I love it here so far. It is a beautiful state. I am currently going to graduate school and hope to finish up my MBA and Masters in Management and Leadership. I hope to one day own my business. :) I love your blog and I cannot wait to continue to see what you post. :)
